Use SSH Client With Password On Command Line

How do I pass an additional command line option to my OpenSSH client for password? I need to pass the both usename and password on the command line as follows:

ssh user@server.nixcraft.net.in myPasswordHere “command1”

How do I pass a password to ssh client under Linux or UNIX operating systems? You need to use the sshpass command. It is a utility designed for running ssh using the mode referred to as “keyboard-interactive” password authentication, but in non-interactive mode. You can install it as follows:$ sudo apt-get install sshpass And pass the password as follows:$ sshpass -p 'mySSHPasswordHere' ssh username@server.nixcraft.net.in "uptime" OR$ sshpass -p 'PASSWORD' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no username@server.nixcraft.net.in "who"
